Smartphones, for many people in India, are considered as a status symbol and something to flaunt. However, there are people who actually need them either for the premium features or to simply support their social image. Generally, people with a budget of Rs. 40,000 and above are more inclined towards buying iPhone, but then there are other options as well if you are not an Apple fan or if you want to carry some other smartphone along with your iPhone.

While Apple has placed several variants of its iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C in the price range of Rs 40,000 and above, there are around eight Android smartphone models and only two Windows phones currently available in this price segment. This clearly showcases the decline of sales in the high-end smartphone segment.
